OT: Song titles with precise time

[wire chief]

We have a long interval between games, so let's play. We are NOT looking for vague times of day like dawn or twilight.
Gary US Bonds would apply.



Even though Eric's song says AFTER Midnight, this qualifies, cause the Midnight in the title IS precise.

 

[Bronxjeff]

24 hours to Tulsa. Gene Pitney? Precise but not specific?

and in memory of the late, great:

 

[tomcat]

Mark Knopfler. 5:15 a.m.



And a totally different 5:15, by The Who:

 

[AlfaHusky]

Midnight at the Oasis - Maria Muldaur

 

[RegisteredUconn]

Do all ways of measuring time count? For example, dates measure time albeit not in an hours, minutes, seconds format. 1/7/2017 is as specific as after midnight, maybe more so.

"It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty, delta day."

 

[UcMiami]

So ... does this qualify:


Some versions use 9:09 and others seem to think it may be the train number.

9 to 5 by Dolly P.

And Christine Lavin has the most precise time of day in the title: “Regretting What I Said to You When You Called Me at Eleven O'clock on a Friday Morning to Tell Me That at One O'clock Friday Afternoon You're Gonna Leave Your Office, Go Downstairs, Hail a Cab to Go out to the Airport to Catch a Plane to Go Skiing in the Alps for Two Weeks. Not That I Wanted to Go with You, I Wasn't Able to Leave Town, I'm Not a Very Good Skier, I Couldn't Expect You to Pay My Way, But After Going Out with You for Three Years, I Don't Like Surprises (A Musical Apology).”

 

[UcMiami]

And of course:

 

[Rayvin56]

Lots of non-specific times of day, but one 7PM.

Best post of all time for these reasons:
1. Grace Kelly.
2. Best movie of the western genre (according to me).
3. Best song in a western (I'm listening to it now, even as I type, and listened to it about 5 times before I started typing).
4. Grace Kelly (I know I've already listed this).
5. Overcoming insurmountable odds is always a popular theme (Armageddon & others).
6. I'm still listening to the song.
7. Grace Kelly (I know I've already listed this twice).

I give this one million unofficial likes to go along with my official like.

Lol, this is great!

Great minds must think alike (see my earlier post of same)

I agree with most of this, and, while I think as pure drama High Noon was the greatest western (Cooper & Kelly!), The Searchers was ultimately a greater movie because its allegorical message was not only stronger but also intelligible. I don't think in the end Fred Zinnemann really knew what he wanted to say, whereas John Ford always knew, in that movie and in every movie.
